Recycling and Waste Management show opens in Birmingham this week13 September 2010

This week's Recycling & Waste Management (RWM) exhibition (14 to 16 September at the NEC) will showcase the UK's first recycling plant for disposable nappies, underground bin systems and technologies that turn waste into bio-fuels.

Gerry Sherwood, RWM's event director says that visitors will find a new Waste Minimisation Zone, with a drop-in advice surgery and daily fashion shows highlighting the design potential of textile recycling.

He also says that the seminar theatres will host green experts from the government, Tesco, Home Retail Group, Friends of the Earth and Arup -- and that the exhibition floor now has more than 500 companies showcasing recycling, composting and waste-to-energy technologies.

"For some time economic and legislative pressures have been affecting how businesses and councils look at their resource and energy issues," says Sherwood. "Now the UK is really waking up to the fact that waste is not a problem but actually a profitable resource."

For plant engineers and managers interested in anything from handheld scrap metal analysers to £15 million materials recycling facilities, the RWM exhibition is one to get to.
